When using images on your website you need to make a suspicious choice of the format of image that you utilize. The most common image formats used for websites are GIF, JPEG and PNG. All these images have their compensation and disadvantages, it's all about knowing which format to use at which place.

First of all we need to realize why need to use a specific format of image. Why can't we choose any high-quality looking image and add it to the website. The explanation for that is images add lots of weight to your website and if you stay adding images the site will get exceptionally important and load quickly. There has to be stability between the excellent looks of an image and its size. To counter this, we need to use similar formats.

JPEG: It is a tool that packages / compresses images in a digital format. It omits the preventable information that an image carries, as result every time the image is saved as JPEG the superiority keep dipping as it leaves out more & more image info. However, in spite of this restriction JPEP is a very valuable image format especially for photographic images (where it is most generally used). It is not a ideal format for color & texture continuation, therefore, not recommended for logos & content.

GIF: The intention following invention of GIF was to add graphics to the websites through the times of extremely slow internet speeds and restrictions of graphic colors to mere 256. It is basically a single color intelligibility format that adds quality to the image. It is fondly known as the on & off transparency system. The biggest benefit for GIF is that it is especially light and work wonders with sharp lined images. It is the best format for images that carry sharp lines and concrete colors and the ones that need transparent conditions. Remember, GIF is only a screen sloping format and should never be used for print purposes as the consequences will be disastrous.

PNG IMAGES: It is, by some distance, the mainly flexible web images format; maybe because of the fact that it was considered expressly for this average. It has seamless simplicity and even provisions like gamma corrections. The irritate with PNG is that its collection are always heavier to its counterparts. It is preferably suited for images to be blended with backgrounds and elevated resolution versions for publish. So now you know the pros and cons of these image formats, choose cautiously and you will have a visually surprising and fast loading website.
